    • WELL, IT IS EASIER WHEN THEY ARE SHARP, BUT IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCED IN DOING HORSES HOOVES, I WOULDNT RECOMMEND GETTING THEM TOO SHARP... CUZ THEN YOU COULD CUT TOO SHORT QUICKLY... AND THEY COULD CUT TOO SHORT VERY QUICKLY IF YOUR HORSE MOVES WHERE AS A DULL PAIR USUALLY WONT CUT AS EASILY... SO IN A SINCE IT IS SAFER...

    • they dont need to be extremely sharp if you are good with a file. you can cut it and file it down to make it even. as long as it is able to cut the hooves, it dosent need to be razor sharp
